Incidence and risk factors of ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack among people living with HIV: a longitudinal cohort study
AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses. 2021 Oct 29. doi: 10.1089/AID.2021.0046. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeople living with HIV (PLWH) have higher ischemic cerebrovascular disease rates than HIV-negative individuals. We aimed to determine the incidence and risk factors of ischemic stroke (IS) and transient ischemic attack (TIA) among Thai PLWH. Data from adults living with HIV who were enrolled in a prospective HIV-NAT 006 cohort in Bangkok, Thailand, from 1996 to 2020 were included in the analysis. The primary endpoint was first-ever IS or TIA. Among 2020 PLWH included in the analysis, 16 (0.8%) developed first-ever IS/TIA over ...

End-of-Life Care Decision-Making in Stroke
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and long-term disability in the United States. Though advances in interventions have improved patient survival after stroke, prognostication of long-term functional outcomes remains challenging, thereby complicating discussions of treatment goals. Stroke patients who require intensive care unit care often do not have the capacity themselves to participate in decision making processes, a fact that further complicates potential end-of-life care discussions after the immediate post-stroke period. Establishing clear, consistent communication with surrogates through shared decision-m...

Criteria for Emergency Brain MRI During Stroke-Alert
Intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) should be given to patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and avoided in stroke mimics (SM). Select use of emergency brain magnetic resonance imaging (eMRI-brain) in stroke-alerts aids diagnosis, but accepted utilization criteria for eMRI-brain do not currently exist. We developed criteria for eMRI-brain and report the yield of eMRI-brain in stroke-alert patients.

To Decompress or Not? An Expected Utility Inspired Approach To Shared decision-making For Supratentorial Ischemic Stroke
AbstractPatients with large territorial supratentorial infarctions are at high risk of cerebral edema, increased intracranial pressure, tissue herniation and death. There is strong evidence supporting prompt decompressive craniectomy after large hemispheric ischemic stroke as a means to reduce mortality. Nevertheless, functional outcomes can vary significantly. Clinical trials have traditionally judged these outcomes by a priori dichotomization without taking into account individual patient and caregiver preferences. If these are not incorporated into shared decision-making, there are significant risks in both directions, ...

Prognosis of Neurological Improvement in Inpatient Acute Ischemic Stroke Survivors: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis
Stroke has become a national concern in China. Early prediction of stroke benefits patients and aids medical professionals in clinical decision making and rehabilitation plans to improve successful outcomes. To identify prediction factors influencing short-term outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Life expectancy, death, and disability in Haiti, 1990-2017: a systematic analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017.
Conclusion: Haiti faces a double burden of disease. Infectious diseases continue to be an issue, while non-communicable diseases have become a significant burden of disease. More attention must also be focused on the increase in worrying public health issues such as road injuries, exposure to forces of nature and HIV/AIDS in specific age groups. To address the burden of disease, sustained actions are needed to promote better health in Haiti and countries with similar challenges. PMID: 33165413 [PubMed]

Neurological complications of hepatitis C infections.
Abstract Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a highly prevalent systemic disease, which can cause a variety of neurological complications. The HCV-associated symptoms can be differentiated into central and peripheral nervous systems as well as the musculature. Important pathomechanisms are HCV-associated autoimmunity (e.g. mixed cryoglobulinemia with polyneuropathy) and direct neurotoxic effects of the virus (e.g. HCV-associated cognitive deficits). Distal symmetric polyneuropathies, small fiber neuropathies and cognitive deficits are the most prevalent neurological manifestations. Furthermore, HCV infe...

Endothelial Progenitor Cells Induce Angiogenesis: a Potential Mechanism Underlying Neovascularization in Encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis
AbstractEncephaloduroarteriosynangiosis (EDAS) is one of the most commonly used indirect vascular reconstruction methods. EDAS aids in the formation of collateral vessels from the extracranial to the intracranial circulation in patients with moyamoya disease (MMD). However, the underlying mechanism of collateral vessel formation is not well understood. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) differentiate to form the vascular endothelial cells and play a very important role in angiogenesis. We designed this prospective clinical trial to investigate the presence of EPCs in patients with MMD and to explore the neovascularization...

Neuron-Specific Markers and their Correlation with Neurological Scales in Patients with Acute Neuropathologies
AbstractIn predicting outcomes in patients with acute brain injury, current practice focuses special attention on neuron-specific proteins that reliably reflect the severity of the lesion. Further studies of molecular markers and their specificity and sensitivity could contribute to broadening the understanding of pathophysiological, diagnostic, and prognostic methods, which is vital to reducing the mortality and disability associated with these critical conditions. The purpose of this study was to assess the biomarkers of brain lesions and their correlative relations with the integral Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and National...
